Abstract excerpt
To determine whether variations in DNA repair genes are related to host DNA damage, we investigated the association between polymorphism in the XPD gene (codon 199, 312, 751) and the XRCC1 gene (codon 194, 399) and the presence of benzo(a)pyrene diolepoxide adducts to lymphocyte DNA (BPDE-DNA) in a group of male patients with incident lung cancer, all current smokers. BPDE-DNA adducts were analyzed by...
